Wizard World To Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ With Nicholas Brendon and Charisma Carpenter in Cleveland

[Press release from Wizard World.]

It
was 20 years ago that the cult TV hit “Buffy the Vampire
Slayer” first hit the air. Its
fandom has grown ever since, and Wizard World is proud to commemorate
the occasion by adding two of its most popular and memorable stars,
Nicholas Brendon (“Xander Harris”) and Charisma Carpenter (“Cordelia Chase”) to Wizard World Comic Con Cleveland next weekend at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.

Brendon
will appear Friday through Sunday, March 17-19, while Carpenter will
attend on Saturday and Sunday. Both will greet fans, sign autographs,
pose for dual and solo photo ops and conduct an interactive
Q&A panel on Saturday at 3 p.m. on the main stage.

One of the landmark series' most popular personalities, Brendon appeared in films like Psycho Beach Party
and Demon Island during hiatuses in the show's run, then had recurring roles in the hit dramas "Criminal Minds" and "Private Practice."

Carpenter,
who has more than 50 film and TV credits, reprised "Cordelia" on
"Angel" and was a regular on "Veronica Mars" and "The Lying Game." She
also played "Lacy" in the blockbuster film
The Expendables and its sequel.

Wizard
World Comic Con events bring together thousands of fans of all ages to
celebrate the best in pop culture: movies, television, gaming, live
entertainment, comics, sci-fi, graphic novels, toys,
original art, collectibles, contests and more. The third event
scheduled on the 2017 Wizard World calendar, Cleveland show hours are
Friday, March 17, 5-10 p.m.; Saturday, March 18, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sunday,
March 19, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Wizard
World Comic Con Cleveland is also the place for cosplay, with fans
young and old showing off their best costumes throughout the event. Fans
dressed as every imaginable character – and some never
before dreamed – will roam the convention floor and participate in the
famed Wizard World Costume Contest on Saturday night.
